Section 10. Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. The following rules shall apply in the interpretation of
the boundaries indicated on the Official Zoning Map:
a. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of streets
or highway, the streets or highways right-of-way lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
b. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot
lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
c. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center
lines or right-of-way lines of streets and highways, such zone boundaries shall be construed
as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated in the zoning map. If no
distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown in said
zoning map.
d. Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake or other bodies of water, said boundary
line should be deemed to be at the limit of the political jurisdiction of the community unless
otherwise indicated. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow
such shorelines and in the event of change in the shorelines, shall be construed as moving
with the actual shorelines.
e. Where a lot of one ownership, as of record the effective date of this Ordinance, is divided by
a zone boundary line, the lot shall be construed to be within the zone where the major portion
of the lot is located. In case the lot is bisected by the boundary line, it shall fall in the zone
where the principal structure falls.
f. Where zone boundaries are indicated by Lot Parcels or said to be one-lot deep, this should
mean that the said zone boundaries are defined by the parcellary subdivision existing at the
time of the passage of this Ordinance.
g. The textual description of the zone boundaries shall prevail over that of the Official Zoning
Maps.
